Topic of inquiry

1. Eating disorder
2. Suicide
3. Social "rankings" of high school

Battle of the bands homework

1. music, movies, artworks, TV shows, magazines, books, software, choreography, inventions, and lyrics for a song.
2. Its a creative piece that you create yourself. No one should use it without your permission.
3. Logos, brand names, words/ slang you make up, movies, product names.
4. Posting different copyrighted things as your own, or just not giving the creator the credit that they need.
5. My motto is: as long as you give someone credit then it is ok. If there isn't anyone or anything to give credit to keep searching until you can find it, or use something else.
6. I would be really mad actually. If i worked really hard on something and was proud of it , and then someone decided to take it and take credit for it, especially if they were making money off of it. I am the type of person that takes pride in what I do and likes to flaunt it.

SHOUT OUT TO D-LANEY ULOWETZ. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUN(:

Pitch

This sionian life
 I would like to propose an idea for a show. A show dedicated to the differences of private school and public school. I went to public for my whole life until it was time for high school. Its a big difference. It was hard making new friends and adjusting to actually having to do school work, but i know in the end it will definitely be worth all of the drastic changes. It would be cool to interview people from all different point of views: current public school students, public school to private school students, private school to public school, and students that have always gone to private schools. You could piece together a few of the interviews. Also it would be a good idea to try and not only look at the academics but the social aspect. I know firsthand how hard it is to make new friends knowing practically no one. I hope you take my pitch into consideration

Middle school

       So my middle school experience was probably the most "typical" middle school experience i guess you could say. I went to public. Delta woods middle school.... for the most part you have gone to school with theses people since pre-school. It had a lot of kids but everyone pretty much no everyone at least in the class.Of course there was classic drama and probably more than every school combined. I hated the school. Dreaded going there and complained about it on a daily basis, but when it came time to leave Delta. I BAWLED my eyes out along with my best friends. We cried because along with two other people I was leaving to go on to bigger and better things. I remember thinking about how fast the three years had gone by, and that this would be the last time i would see a lot of my favorite people. Aside from all of the complaining and all of the horrible teachers and rules, on that day, I realized that was probably my favorite place. I knew everyone and had my best friends. Yes i could say specific things i want to remember but honestly i want to remember about middle school, but honestly i want to remember everything about it.


I remember my 6th grade year when we came back after winter break we got like 5 new students. One of them being one of the more "popular" people. She came in a Bob Marley T-shirt and ripped jeans. I vividly remember probably the most popular girl in the school saying she looks cool we should let her be our friend.
Big mistake.
She was a sweet girl don't get me wrong, but once she got to the top of the hierarchy she dropped all of us and stopped talking to us. She used it to get close to the guys and that all went bad. No one had a problem with her until 8th grade year. She was never mean she was always nice but we couldn't help but feeling used within good reason.

I didn't really try any different personalities in middle school. I was always kind of shy to new strangers unless i had something to talk to them about. I was athletic, smart, and funny. No real change from who i truly was. High school is a different story. i came in knowing 2 other people from school and my dance team( one of them being one of the two girls from my grade school) we weren't super close but we were all friends. I knew i couldn't just rely on the ten freshman i knew to be my friends for all of freshman year. So when i got to Sion i had to try and stop being so shy and start being socially active. It was EXTREMELY hard to make friends at first. I actually cried for about the first week. Not because i missed my old friends just because i wanted to make new friends SO bad, and i just couldn't. Thankfully everybody kind of opened up to everyone and then it was a lot easier to just talk to someone without being scared that they were going to judge you.

Hello mother. Hello father. Fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, they really bother. Thats why im writing you this letter, thanks for sending me to Sion. I enjoy taking the selfies in Tech lit.

My Survey about the Olympics

My survey is about the olympics! Go test it out.

The iPhone 4S has a new feature that no other iPhone generation has. SIRI. the little personal, electronic assistant! Cool ehh??

iPhone4S now comes in two different colors. white and black and are very thin and sleek in both colors.

Ultimately the iPhone 4S is of course better than all of the other iPhones. the are newer and more improved.

The iPhone 4S is a great phone choice for anyone of any age.

Iphone 4S

The iPhone 4S is BY FAR the best phone I've ever had. its very technologically advanced which can be good and bad, depends on how tech savvy you are. It's a film phone with a billion different case choices for the more fashionista type. comes in black or white. The iPhone 4 comes in 16,32, and 64 gb. This is the first iPhone that has the personal assistant "siri." some people hate siri other love her i personally think she is hilarious! In the end the iPhone 4S is a great phone and can be purchased in many different stores and what not.

Freshman Retreat

I think freshman retreat will be fun. It will be a great time to bond with the other girls in the class and upper class men. Also, I have no idea what to expect about the activites they have planned for us. Hopefully they will be some what fun. A lot of older girls told us that freshman retreat is a lot of fun, and a great time to get to know the people in your class that we will be going to school with for four more years. I hope that the seniors hard work to plan the retreat pays off by us frosh having a great time this year.
